In case you've been checked out from the Internet and weren't aware, Beyoncé just released two new songs and, as expected, they're awesome. While "Ring Off" definitely got the rumor mill going, I could care less. As soon as I watched the crazy fun "7/11" video and got a whiff of Carrie Bradshaw, I knew I had a new favorite. The video's ultra casual, so much so that in lieu of pants, Bey's wearing boy-short underwear for most of it. Now, think back to the first time you even thought about girls wearing men's-style briefs. Do you have an image of Carrie in a white pair and matching tank top, hanging around her apartment all stylish-like (I've got a vision of her brushing her teeth and talking to Aiden—anyone else?) It was that Sex and the City moment that really introduced the world to a new category of women's underwear and suddenly it was an It item. I mean, for the last few years of high school, all my friends and I wanted for birthday gifts were boy shorts from American Eagle. We were girls obsessed. Beyond the shared undies, there's also a lot of Carrie and her girlfriends present read more

We all have something to gain from news that Sarah Jessica Parker and Matthew Broderick put their Manhattan apartment on the market: glorious, glorious real-estate-ready pictures. Including, of course, her closet. Upon seeing it, my mind was crowded with questions—first and foremost, is that the only shoe area she has? Because I don't believe it if so. Secondly, did SJP strip her closet of her personal clothes before a professional stager got in there and added a random assortment of clothes? I tried zooming and snooping and have to tell you, I don't recognize any of this. Aside from the closet, the entire thing sounds amazing. It was built in 1846 and has five bedrooms, and the master bath has its own fireplace (!). FYI: They're asking a cool $22 million for it, which sadly knocks it firmly out of my budget. If you're interested, the full listing is up here. Another intriguing fact to note? One of the listing brokers is Fredrik Eklund from Million Dollar Listings New York. I know it's probably way too much to ask, but is there a possibility we'll see SJP's sparkle gracing Bravo sometime soon? Is that what you'd imagine her closet to read more

Let's be honest, guys. Carrie Bradshaw (of TV's Sex and the City, duh) has had some pretty amazing outfits. On the other hand, she's looked downright crazy especially during those lazy, hazy New York City summer days. Here, three of those special looks. When she runs into Big and Natasha in the Hamptons for the first time post-breakup. When she takes a walk, buys some groceries, and contemplates life in this tube top, hot pants, heels, and trench coat look. When she rocks a tie (askew, of course) and yet another driver's cap during another post-Big phase. A few other Carrie specials: Carrie wearing a belt around her bare stomach to go shopping for wedding dresses with Miranda. Tie-dye Chanel and a matching bandanna, anyone? And last but not least this very '80s pink prom dress and head-scarf number. Can you think of any crazy summertime Carrie looks? How about for the other Sex and the City gals?

A very bored 27-year-old French boyfriend might have just created the ultimate homage to Carrie Bradshaw and Sex and the City: a 9-minute 21-second video that splices together all of the brands mentioned in the show over its six season run—alphabetically. The most-mentioned name, said a whopping 36 times? Vogue. The next most common words were martini (34), Yankees (26), and Knicks (25), sensible since it's not just Carrie's dialogue but everyone's. The fashion brands to crack the top 10? Manolo Blahnik (16), Dolce & Gabbana (15), Prada (14), Chanel (13), and Gucci (12). Watch Carrie, Miranda, Charlotte, Samantha, Big, and friends say them all: Whoa! Firstly, how impressed are you with this guy's dedication? And secondly, are you shocked Manolo Blahnik didn't even rank in the top five? read more

From one fashion icon to another: Olivia Palermo's wedding-day ensemble (which included shorts—click here for details!) wouldn't have been complete without the perfect shoes. And she opted for the same pair that Carrie Bradshaw wore to marry Mr. Big. Manolo Blahnik Hangisi Satin Pump in in Cobalt Blue from Bergdorf Goodman, $965. Here's how Carrie wore them with her wedding suit: And you can click your way over to Olivia's blog to see how the real-life bride paired them with her high-low Carolina Herrera skirt. Would you wear bright blue shoes as your "something blue"? read more

Once you see The Way Way Back (in theaters this Friday)—and trust me, you will want to—you'll understand why AnnaSophia Robb and I wanted to do our interview on a lazy river at a water park instead of in a hotel room (no offense to the swanky Casa Del Mar). Robb, 19, costars in The Way Way Back with Steve Carell, Toni Collette, and other talented thespians (Allison Janney and Sam Rockwell are worth the price of admission alone)—a film that takes you back to simpler times (and has now made me want to vacation in a charming seaside town near Cape Cod). It's the coming of age story of a 14-year-old boy who goes on summer vacay with his mom and her overbearing boyfriend, and the cast of misfits he encounters during his stay. AnnaSophia, curled up on a plush chair (sipping chai tea to save her voice), chatted with me about the film, her fave episode of Sex and the City (after all, she does play a young Carrie Bradshaw!), and the summer hot spots she can't miss. Glamour: Half of the film takes place at a water park in Wareham, Massachusetts. What were your digs like during read more

Do you remember the first time you saw a pair of Manolo Blahniks? Was it during an episode of Sex and the City? Sarah Jessica Parker (a.k.a. Carrie Bradshaw) single-handedly made the shoe designer a household name during the show's run. Unfortunately, it turns out she's now paying the price for her long hours spent in high heels and she might have to give them up. Say it isn't so! After filming I Don’t Know How She Does It, she visited a foot doctor and received some bad news, according to Net-a-Porter. "I went to a foot doctor, and he said, 'Your foot does things it shouldn't be able to do. That bone there...you've created that bone. It doesn't belong there.'" She adds, "The moral of the story is, the chickens are coming home to roost," she said. "It's sad, because my feet took me all over the world, but eventually they were like, 'You know what? We are really tired; can you just stop—and don't put cheap shoes on us?'" Could you stop wearing high heels? Do you remember your favorite shoes from SATC? I loved the dark blue satin Manolo pumps with the jeweled buckle that she wore read more
